Founded in 2007, MesoCoat Inc. is led by Chief Executive Officer and founder, Andrew J. Sherman, who is also CEO of Powdermet Inc.
contact info“Adoption of new coatings technologies within several industries is being driven by not only the high cost associated with corrosion, but environmental and health safety concerns as well,” said Lee Poseidon, the JumpStart Entrepreneur-in-Residence who will be working with MesoCoat. “Chrome plating has been the method of choice for producing durable wear and corrosion-resistant coatings for more than 60 years, but the use of chromium is facing increased environmental and health safety regulations. MesoCoat’s technology is a cost effective replacement for chrome plating,” Poseidon concluded.
MesoCoat is led by founder and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Sherman, who is also CEO of Powdermet. The company’s Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Greg Engleman, spent nine years developing advanced materials and coatings using electromagnetic fusion while working at Oak Ridge National Laboratory at the Infrared Processing Center in the Materials Processing Group and has authored more than 10 papers on wear and corrosion resistance technology.
“Our PComP™ nanocomposite coatings are unique in their ability to provide both wear and corrosion resistance to large and highly stressed components, and we routinely see 10 to 100 fold improvements in wear, durability, and component life over chrome and carbide coatings,” said Sherman. “By combining our patented coating materials with a practical electromagnetic fusion coating application system derived from Dr. Engleman’s work at Oak Ridge, we will be able to deliver revolutionary value to our customers. This JumpStart investment will greatly accelerate market introduction of our nanocomposite coatings by enabling MesoCoat to supply demonstration components and gain OEM approvals for our materials and application equipment directly, without relying on job shop or national lab intermediaries,” concluded Sherman.
MesoCoat plans to use the JumpStart investment to build a coatings application lab to produce qualification samples and initial components for customers, and to develop prototype electromagnetic fusion coating application equipment.
This is JumpStart’s 42nd investment in its 31st company. Other advanced specialty materials and chemical companies in JumpStart’s portfolio include AMTI, Aria Analytics, RSP Tooling, and Stanton Advanced Ceramics.
